Unitarian Universalist

Unitarian Universalism is said to be a covenantal faith. Our religious ancestors founded our heritage denominations on covenants. Bill will discuss what this meant historically and what it means for us modern Unitarian Universalists.

Throughout American history work has been hard — as has been life — for many folks. Join us in this sing-along service with UCWC as we look back on some of the many songs that recall this important aspect of our past. (Edited for length.)

A selfie is taken with a camera pointed back toward the individual. It shows others where the subject of the picture has been and what he or she has been doing. As he completes a year with UCWC, Rev. William Zelazny presents a congregation selfie.

On a Sunday when we traditionally honor mothers, Rev. William Zelazny broadens the perspective to look at parenting with a focus on the spiritual aspect of this great calling and how we, whether we have children or not, can be spiritual parents to others.

Some faith traditions have special days designated for forgiveness or atonement. There's even a Worldwide Forgiveness Day. Holding onto anger and resentment can eat away at us, which makes any time a good time to forgive. Rev. Zelazny speaks.

While UUs may not recognize Easter for the same reason as orthodox Christians, there is still a message in this day for us. Rev. Zelazny believes a universal theme of Easter is renewal. He reflects on personal renewal, which includes spiritual renewal.
